NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about the structure of an atom and its components are correct?
Atoms contain negatively charged electrons and positively charged constituents, making them electrically neutral.
The positive charge in an atom is exclusively located in the nucleus, with electrons distributed uniformly around it.
The first model of the atom was proposed by J. J. Thomson, which described a uniform distribution of positive charge.
The arrangement of electrons in an atom has no impact on its overall charge neutrality.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Statement A is correct as it reflects the understanding that atoms have both negatively charged electrons and positively charged constituents. Statement B is misleading as it implies uniform distribution, which is not elaborated in the context. Statement C, while true, is not comprehensive as it doesn't address the concept of charge neutrality. Statement D is incorrect since the arrangement of electrons is crucial for understanding atomic structure.
